RainParade app for iPhone and iPad

Do you ponder how much it rained yesterday? Are you concerned about precipitation for your crops, trees, or garden? Do you wonder if this spring was wet or dry? Are you curious if the hiking trails will be wet and muddy? Is it time to water your grass or conserve the water? Are you a coach or parent concerned the field will be too wet for practice?

If the amount of precipitation we get impacts your life, then RainParade will benefit you. RainParade visualizes data from CoCoRaHS under the Creative Commons License. Only high quality rain stations are shown in RainParade. You can search and favorite stations in areas that interest you the most, then view the station details.

Recent precipitation totals are shown on the stations details page. The totals are broken down by month and year. The totals are compared to 30 year averages to determine if the totals are above or below the norm.

Rain is essential for life and a healthy environment. You should celebrate the next time it rains on your parade.

The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, is a non-profit, community-based network of volunteers who measure and report rain, hail and snow in their backyards.

Volunteers use high quality rain gauges and then submit their observations using the CoCoRaHS website or apps. Observations are immediately available to the public via the CoCoRaHS Web API.

CoCoRaHS is supported by many sponsors and collaborators. To view a full list please visit the CoCoRaHS Web site. Please consider donating to CoCoRaHS today!
